What Does SPH Stand For?

SPH stands for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

SPH, or Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, is a computational method used for simulating fluid flows. It is a Lagrangian approach that represents fluids as a collection of particles, each carrying properties such as mass, position, velocity, and physical state. SPH is particularly advantageous for handling complex boundaries, free-surface flows, and large deformations. This technique finds applications in various fields, including astrophysics, engineering, and computer graphics, offering an effective tool for modeling fluid dynamics in both natural and artificial systems.
